The owner of a Riverhead shopping center that lost power during Saturday’s storms said their electricity wasn’t restored until late Tuesday afternoon, costing some businesses thousands of dollars.Maureen Mullarkey reports in NEWSDAY that Joe Tosini, owner of River Center Shopping Center at Ostrander Avenue and Old Country Road in Riverhead, said full power was restored Tuesday around 5:40 p.m. after a "frustrating" experience of getting in contact with PSEG Long Island."These tenants here lost their livelihood, and I'm the owner, so my responsibility is to make sure that I help them get their power back on," Tosini said.The Saturday night storm left thousands without power on Sunday and roads closed to traffic because of downed trees and utility lines.Tosini said the power went out after a tree fell onto power and electric cables. The storm caused bricks to fall from the building’s corner onto the pavement.A photo Tosini took afterward showed the tree blocking traffic in both directions on Ostrander Avenue, its branches taller than a PSEG worker standing in front of it.By Wednesday morning, PSEG had removed the tree from the road, but Riverhead police closed Ostrander Avenue between the property’s entrance and an entrance of a neighboring shopping center due to exposed and downed wires.PSEG Long Island released a statement yesterday saying it had "completed the work to repower the area on Monday. In order to reenergize the shopping center, the owners' electrician must be present to safely restore power. This coordination took place on Tuesday. Safety is a number one priority for PSEG Long Island and it recognizes that being without power for any length of time is a hardship for its customers."More than 11,600 customers across Long Island had no electricity just before noon Sunday. By Monday night, PSEG Long Island reported more than 3,000 customers without power.***Today at 12 Noon WLIW-FM’s Brian Cosgrove welcomes to our studio Anthony Mason - CBS news' Senior Culture Correspondent to talk about his new independent you tube show "Alchemy" - in depth conversations about the creative process which debuted in May.

Dan Stark reports on 27east.com that the grounds on the north side of Jobs Lane are now renamed the Paulson Family Gardens in honor of John Paulson, a hedge fund manager and Southampton Village resident who provided a $3.4 million gift to the center that paved the way for the renovations. The grounds go back to the final years of the 19th century, when they were initially designed in 1898 after being commissioned by Samuel Parrish, the future namesake of the Parrish Art Museum. Paulson explained at last Friday’s opening ceremony that two years ago, he and his wife, Alina de Almeida, were in the midst of another park renovation project and while they were walking through the village one day, she took note of the gardens at the center and suggested turning his attention there, telling him that the space needed “some local care and some refreshment.” When Paulson approached the center about the idea, Simone Levinson, the chairwoman of the center’s board of directors, was immediately receptive and began meeting with village officials to get the necessary approvals to do the work.The Southampton Arts Center worked with landscape architect Chris LaGuardia of the LaGuardia Design Group to redesign the 2.7-acre grounds. Among the changes introduced are a new fountain on the west side, new flower plantings and moving certain trees to new areas.Tish Rehill, the president of Gardeneering Inc., was brought in to work on specifics of the garden. She said she wanted to continue Parrish’s original mission of introducing new plants to the area and noted that “you can do color and texture with just leaves.”***The Greenport Village Board is considering implementing resident parking permits in 2027 for the village parking lots that now require hourly payment near the center of the village.The move came after backlash from residents over the expansion this summer of the village’s paid parking program.The board discussed implementing the resident passes at a special meeting last evening.Beth Young reports in EAST END BEACON that they received a smattering of mixed reaction from the public.Greenport Village Treasurer Adam Brautigam told attendees at the meeting that if the village issued 1,430 parking passes at a rate of $40 per pass it would generate $57,000 in revenue in 2027.He based those figures on the assumption that the...
